NHSparky sends us a link to Fox News<\/a> which reports an exchange yesterday between Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen as he gave FBI agent Peter Strzok a handy in the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Law hearings yesterday;<\/p>\n

“Mr. Strzok, I don’t know where to start,” Cohen said as he started his allotted five minutes. “If I could give you a Purple Heart, I would. You deserve one.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Purple Heart for getting yelled at. I guess that is why Congressmen can’t award Purple Hearts – they would be throwing them from a parade route, if they could.<\/p>\n

From the Tennessean<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Strzok was subpoenaed last week by the House Judiciary Committee to testify publicly about the text messages he exchanged with Page.<\/p>\n

In a report to Congress released last month, Horowitz said Page wrote to Strzok in a text message, “(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right?” In response, Strzok wrote, “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another thing that the FBI can’t do.<\/p>\n

Strzok faced hostile Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who pointed to his text messages with Page in 2015 and 2016 as evidence of bias in the Russia and Clinton investigations. Strzok and Page were having an extramarital affair at the time they were texting.<\/p>\n

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, brought up the affair during one of the most heated parts of the hearing, asking Strzok whether he gave his wife the same “innocent” look he was giving Congress members.<\/p>\n

Democrats shouted Gohmert down as Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., yelled “you need your medication.”<\/p>\n

Strzok angrily replied that Gohmert’s question “goes more to a discussion about your character.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
